    Potential impacts of the A-bomb being dropped over Germany

    Something I've been wondering for awhile lately, but let's say that for whatever reason either the lab in Los Alamos somehow manages to put together Trinity earlier or/and the Nazis (probably by sheer dumb miraculous luck) somehow manage to last just long enough to justify the "Germany First"...

    AHC/WI: Suharto rules Indonesia for life

    I've been wondering about the scenario for awhile. What could've happened or been done prior to 1998 to prevent Suharto's fall in May of that year? Let's say he still lives until near the date of his OTL death, would he have retired some time in the 2000s? Even handwaving any attempts to oust...

    AHC/WI: Mondale landslide in '84

    With any POD after his nomination as Democratic candidate, somehow have Walter Mondale win a landslide victory over President Ronald Reagan in the 1984 US election. Not necessarily as electorally one-sided as OTL, but with a wide Mondale lead in the popular and electoral votes.

    AHC/WI: Western Allies take all of Germany

    With any POD after America's entry into WW2 (December 8th 1941), have the WAllies reach Berlin first and subsequently occupy the entirity of Germany's pre-war territory. What has to happen for this to occur? The Soviets doing even worse on the Eastern Front? The WAllies receiving an extra...

    WI: FDR without paralysis

    What if in 1921, Franklin D. Roosevelt never caught the illness that left him wheelchair-bound for the rest of his life? What effects would this have on his career? Will he still become President? And if a second global war still breaks out in this timeline, would this have any significant...

    WI: Fred Rogers revealed to be an American Jimmy Savile

    (I'm going to regret making this thread, won't I?) Alright, so basically - what if: a) During the later part of his career... b) Shortly after his death... ...a load of reliable evidence comes to light revealing Mr. Rogers to be a serial pedophile/rapist a la Jimmy Savile? What happens to...

    WI: Easter Rising as an "Irish Alamo"

    Say that for whatever reason, the British decide to not only shell the GPO - but to storm it on the 28th of April 1916. A good deal of the Irish Republicans are killed during the brutal assault and upon surrendering, another large chunk is summarily executed on the spot. All the remaining...

    AHC: Swap the fates of Rhodesia and (Apartheid) South Africa

    With a POD after the Rhodesia's Unilateral Declaration of Independence in 1965, what could've happened or been done to reverse the historical fates of southern Africa's two White-ruled states? For this challenge: Rhodesia has to peacefully transition to Majority-rule under a sane and moderate...

    WI: Total Nationalist victory in the Chinese Civil War - Effects on Asia and the Cold War?

    This thread isn't going to be a discussion of why or how the ROC wins ITTL. Perhaps Chiang doesn't do [something dumb] and does [something smart] while Mao doesn't do [something smart] and does [something dumb]. Whatever the cause or POD - The National Revolutionary Army utterly smashes the PLA...

    AHC/WI: A more powerful/effective United Nations

    IOTL a common complaint against the UN is that is either: 1) a powerless joke or 2) utterly ineffective in its peacekeeping efforts (and sometime, both). With a POD post-WW2, what could've been done to make the United Nations a more effective and/or powerful organization? This can go either...

    AHC: German genocide

    Yes, I know the title may sound like a vague attempt at a bloodthirsty revanchist fantasy. But I am merely curious, what sort of POD post-WW1 would be needed for the German people to (ironically) have a genocide waged against them? For reasons as to not stretch the realms of plausiblity, this...

    WI: Stalin annexes the entirity of Post-WW2 Eastern Europe

    In a bout of megalomania, lets say for whatever reason the Great Marshal comes up with a "brilliant" plan to maximize the power of the Soviet Union. Every inch of Soviet occupied land post-1945 is immediately incorporated into the Workers' Paradise. Thus we get the Polish SSR, the (East) German...

    WI: France and Britain invade Germany in 1933

    A few months after the passing of the Enabling Act, London and Paris decide to mobilize unilaterally invade Germany. The aim is to overthrow the Hitler regime and install a friendly pro-Entente puppet government that will fully comply with the terms of Versailles. In addition, enforcement of...

    WI: The Boston Marathon bombs went off under the crowd stands

    Say that for whatever reason (perhaps an incredible stroke of luck), the Tsarnaev brothers are able to hide the bags containing the bombs under the crowd stands in Boston. They promptly go off more or less the same time as IOTL. Just... how high would the casualties be? What would be the...

    AH Caption Game 3.0
    Threadmarks: Game Rules (please read)

    Back in August I created AH Caption Game 2.0 in the Chat forum, intending it to be a successor to the original AH Caption Game. Things didn't go as planned and within the span of a month, the thread was effectively dead. After stumbling upon it whilst browsing my "watched threads" list, I...

    WI: Lee Kuan Yew killed during WW2; What happens to Singapore?

    Say that he gets shot by some trigger happy Kempeitai officer, killed early by a Japanese bomb or simply starved to death during a food shortage. Whatever the cause, Lee dies in wartime before he has a chance to make an impact on history. What would Singapore have looked like without his strict...

    PC/AHC: Indonesian Civil War (plausibility and reprecussions)

    Just curious as I am not exactly the most well-versed when it comes to Indonesian politics or history. So past the declaration of independence in 1945, was there any point in time when Indonesia could have exploded into civil war? If so... 1) Who would've been the belligrents? Communists...

    WI: France bombs Germany during the Ruhr Crisis

    Amid the tensions brought about by the Ruhr Crisis, the French government decides to send a clear message to the Germans in 1923. Whilst the French army occupies the Ruhr itself, bombers are sent in to "pre-emptively" bomb several German cities in the Rhineland. Casualties reaches the thousands...

    AHC/WI: A Johnson-Kennedy ticket in 1960

    First of all, what could have happened during (and shortly before) the Democratic Primaries that could have led to LBJ winning the nomination and then choosing JFK as his running mate? How much better or worse would an early Johnson candidacy fare against the likes of Richard Nixon? Second: Say...

    WI: Deepwater Horizon was an eco-terrorist attack

    Shortly the explosion in the oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico, an eco-terrorist group (let's call them the Green Brigade) comes forward and reveals that they had planted a bomb in the rig, resulting in the subsequent explosion. They gleefully announce that they have struck a massive blow against...
